PEUIDBOMIA AMPHINOME. 163 
whitish spots. Body coloured like the wings above, 
greyish beneath, the breast red. 
We are indebted to Madam Merian for a repre- 
sentation of the caterpillar, the peculiar appendages 
of which have heen already mentioned. The colour 
of its body is a delicate green, with longitudinal 
rays alternately blue and yellow ; the pectoral legs 
black ; the head dull yellow. It feeds on the Jas- 
minum Indicum. The chrysalis is of a yellow 
colour. 
The insect inhabits various parts of South Ame- 
rica, in some places rather plentifully.
